Well I sent the '03 1k packing. I realized after riding the TLR to Florida back in May that I enjoyed distance riding, so I decided to get the right tool for the job.

Of course the blue ones are faster, you mean you didn't know that?
2000 TL1000R: Yoshimura RS-3 Full Titanium Race Exhaust, Hyperpro Steering Damper, Marchesini M5 5-spoke magnesium wheels (YES, it DOES steer lighter than your R1), YAFMS Map, BMC Air Filter, TRE, PAIR Valve removed, Traxxion re-worked front forks, Penske 8987 rear shock.
Also, near death with a car bumper.
2003 Hayabusa: Krauser 42L hard bags, on-board GPS, XM -
Damn, that thing looks positively sinister. I like it!
Having taken a 25 mile spin through the twisties on a 'busa, I deduced that it would make the absoultely perfect platform for go to jail speed distance touring.
Out in the wide open spaces, smaller or less powerful bikes have a way of feeling even smaller and less powerful. Not so a Hayabusa. Put bags on it, load it down with crap, ride it at altitude up a steep hill against a stiff headwind and laugh. That thing will still snap your head back with low end torque and churn the tire at 8,000 rpm under such conditions. A GSXR 1000 would do the same of course, but it does not coddle you like a 'busa.
Sounds like you are in agreement. Enjoy that badass new bike of yours over the long ride

I really like the black...EVIL writen all over it!
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.Comment

Make sure you check out suzukihayabusa.org , hayabusa.org , and labusas.org . There's as much great info. at those forums as there is here. The Motorhead, who runs the suzukihayabusa.org is currently in Bonneville trying for a landspeed streetbike record on a turbo-charged busa putting out over 500 horses. His "pitbike" that he is getting his license on is also turboed and will do something like 210. Crazy!
